The owner of a company who helped build Yankee Stadium and 5 of his engineers are accused of falsifying safety tests on the Stadium and a decade worth of major public projects.
"The volume of fabricated tests is egregious," Mr. Vance told reporters. "It was systemic; it was pervasive."
None of the nearly 3,000 test reports that prosecutors seized from the company contained legitimate results, according to one person briefed on the investigation. Among other projects for which tests results were falsified were: the Lincoln Tunnel, the air traffic control tower at La Guardia Airport, the Javits Convention Center; a building at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.
I know plenty of construction workers who could use a thing or two to do this fall. Maybe the Yankees can hire some honest people to fix those massive cracks that run through parts of the concourse and the ramps.
